Reduce the number of personnel deployed for operations, inject advanced technologies, analyse performance, get feedback from the establishments and create an e-Governance grid to enable rapid mobilisation of additional resources were some of Kalam's suggestions to CISF on its 38th Raising Day today.
"CISF should aim to become an invisible lean and thin, smart, security system in the establishments under their cover, causing minimum disturbance to the functionaries of the establishment and the clients, and be a deterrent to mischief-mongers," he said at the CISF Day Parade here.
Kalam said the CISF personnel should be introduced to the tools of information technology, which could be used by the low intensity warfare elements for subversive activities and the methodologies to detect and counter them.
Stressing that all out efforts should be made to reduce the number of people deployed in each operation, Kalam said "the advent of new technologies has provided a new dimension for patrolling, surveillance and dealing with criminals and maintaining the security of people and property of the establishments."
A combination of electronic surveillance system for the perimeter, use of intelligence data to derive advance information and availability of a mobile rapid action force should enable the CISF to bring down the number of personnel on perimeter duty substantially, Kalam said.
To provide better security, Kalam said the CISF may conduct an analysis about the frequency and the type of crime occurring in different establishments.
"Based on this analysis, there is a need to work out a special strategy for combating crimes in areas where the frequency and intensity is very high for ensuring better safety and security of the establishment," he said.
He also suggested that the top management of the CISF may like to conduct a security seminar once in two years, wherein all the chief executives of establishments serviced by the Force can participate and present their views based on their experience on the overall performance.
"Feedback from those seminar can be utilised for making policy changes of the establishment, improvement in the training programmes, use of higher technology in future missions," Kalam said.
